07 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid falls and hazardous situations, you
should first practice using your new wheelchair
on level, clearly laid out terrain. An accompa-
nying person is recommended.
Please observe all safety warnings:
t
Never leave children or adolescents in
the wheelchair without supervision.
t
Before using the wheelchair, please
check whether all of the attached parts
are properly secured.
t
Before using the wheelchair for the first
time, practice moving on level, clearly
laid out terrain. Intensively familiarise
yourself with its braking and acceleration
behaviour when moving straight ahead
and on cornering.
t
Please note that upholstery parts which
are exposed to direct sunlight can
become hot and may cause skin injuries
on contact. Therefore, cover these parts
or protect the wheelchair from exposure
to the sun.
t
The wheelchair must not be misused to
transport multiple persons or loads. Use
it only for the intended purpose.
t
Never use the wheelchair under the
influence of alcohol or other substances
which influence attentiveness or physical
and mental receptiveness.
t
Please note that the risk of tipping over
may be increased due to shifts in balance
as a result of body movement or loading
the wheelchair.
t
It is vital to use ramps to overcome
obstacles.
t
If they cannot be bypassed, ruts, rails or
similar obstacles should be crossed at
right angles (90°).
t
A risk of tipping over backwards exists
on slopes of 10° or more
t
The anti-tipping supports must be
secured in the correct position to
increase protection against tipping over
backwards.
t
Avoid unbraked pushing against an
obstacle (step, kerb edge) as the occupant
may otherwise fall out forwards.
t
Never stand on the foot plates when
entering or exiting.
